~Sometimes there are rare golden moments… moments of bliss and dreamlike poetry...

That is what gives me my passion and the fuel I need to continue moving paint across a fresh, waiting canvas.
My art is a manifestation of my inner feelings and the relationship I have with my subject matter and my models. Interaction and communication between us is the driving force, and only when the model is comfortable and at ease will I be able to feel and paint their true emotions and mannerisms. We work closely, their feedback is vital to my process.

I tend to guard my feelings, art, and models with great ferocity. Exposing any of these things is very difficult. I press through that difficulty in the hope that my audience will feel both mine and the model’s emotions… and be moved… as I am, when I create.

I would love to have you on my email list for new shows and "work in progress" images. Please message me with your email address if you want to be on it. Thanks!
